Mangalore Bangalore Train - Will it be canceled 05/09/08 04:31 - shridhar
[Warning - still no source or reference for this development. So treat it as discussion, not 'news' in any sense. Anyone has a reference or quote, please provide one here - {editor}] Its really a shocking news that the train from Bangalore to Mangalore will stand canceled from First of June 2008 as per the decision taken by the Railway board saying that it is non profitable. Does anyone know that since the beginning of the said 6517 & 6518 trains, there is a minimum of 300 waiting lists of passengers. Then how can you say that it is not a profitable route. In order to make the people tired of the journey the trains reach the destination 2 to 3 hours after time. With this they want to make the people commuting on the trains be less and prove the fact that the route is non profitable. But please dont feel that the people of Karnatka are silent spectators. They will be aggressive once their morale is hurt. Dont try to put hand in lions mouth and try to count its teeth. person shridhar's post | forum 135 Comments | Read More

Baby Steps: A Perspective on Voting 05/07/08 09:00 - FatimaAlloo
If you have ever observed a child in your family or friends’ circle grow up, it may sometimes seem ridiculous when everyone rejoices when he/she stands up for the first time and successfully puts one little foot in front of the other. Of course, this is usually followed by the little one immediately falling to the floor and crawling away. But are you discouraged? Do you think to yourself, “Wow, just one small step? She is never going to walk! How will she ever run?” Needless to say, most of us are aware that walking, let alone running, is a process – a skill that is developed one baby-step at a time. person FatimaAlloo's post | forum 8 Comments | Read More

Why not extend Namma Metro to BIAL ? 05/07/08 06:36 - bangalore-guy
I have been reading at various forums and news papers and it is now clear that the planning authorities goofed up by not thinking about rail connectivity to the new BIAL. Now various suggestions are being made and one that is louder than the rest is that a dedicated rail link be provided from MG Road to the BIAL. Which in my opinion is utterly stupid and expensive. person bangalore-guy's post | forum 23 Comments | Read More

BRTS – Certainly Possible & Can be Seamlessly Integrated too ! 05/06/08 06:55 - Naveen
Planning BRT Corridors along narrower
/congested roads & areas can be done by using up only one lane
about 12-ft wide for one-way flows whilst using a similar lane on a
different road for the return journey. This also has the advantage of
wider coverage thrown in for the benefit of commuters. On wider roads,
Syamese-twin pairs of bus-ways can be planned with overtaking facility
at some bus stops for express /skip-stop services (20 ft width corridor
would be required at bus stops for this, but they can be staggered on
up & down directions to prevent 40’ width of the road at any given
point from being used up).
